▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A bullish Class A displacement forms after successive sweeps of Asian and London liquidity, with price now resting near the MSS level at 2877.3. The move up from the 2748.3 ITL displaced through 2886.2, creating an internal FVG (2868–2868.5) on the earlier swing and a fresh bullish FVG (2869.4–2870.6) within the current displacement. The London Hi sweep at 2862.1 marked the prior ITH; price then broke above it to establish the new ITH at 2877.3 during cash session killzone. An iFVG sits lower in the structure, offering a reference for potential mitigation if price enters consolidation. The methodological observation: after a displacement this size with multiple session-liquidity sweeps already executed, students should monitor whether price holds above the MSS or begins to compress—liquidity-grab patterns often precede directional continuations when the bias remains bullish across HTF anchors (60-min bias confirmed).

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

━ VWAP━ EMA 20━ EMA 50┄ EMA 200·━ RSI(14)━ MACD━ Signal

Price sits 20.57 points above VWAP with all three EMAs stacked in bullish alignment—the 20, 50, and 200 form a clear uptrend scaffold. RSI at 69.03 signals strong momentum without yet entering overbought territory, while MACD shows the line above signal with a positive histogram of 0.89, confirming directional conviction. Volume at 7602 contracts nearly 2.45× the 20-bar average, indicating substantial participation behind the move. ATR at 6.86 reflects contained volatility relative to the recent session range, suggesting the expansion has room to breathe without extreme drawdown risk. The combination of aligned moving averages, above-VWAP pricing, positive MACD momentum, elevated RSI, and heavy volume footprint presents a cohesive uptrend posture with momentum still building rather than exhausted.
